I

traffic-related infringements and offences revenue.
(1) In 2019–20 how much
revenue was received by the consolidated fund?
(2) How much is forecast to be
received by the consolidated fund in 2020–21?
(3) Has the
government considered increasing revenue flows from traffic-related offences to
the road trauma trust account in the name of improving road safety outcomes on
WA roads?

some notice of the question.

revenue received by the consolidated account is currently being audited in
preparation of the release of the 2019–20 Annual Report on State
Finances next month.

midyear review projections, an amount of $33.8 million is expected to be paid
